“It’s going to be important for communication to the board and the district and constituents that this is the process for how we spend money now,” said board candidate Kerry Prielipp, a newcomer entering the race against incumbents Karl Firor, Mike Reddy and Leslie Caimi.

The four candidates are vying for three four-year positions on the Inter-Canyon board. Incumbent Joseph Marcus is the only candidate running for the two-year term as board director. Two board seats are not up for re-election.

Reddy, who is emergency management coordinator for the city of Westminster, said his colleagues on the board have spent most of the past year dealing with repercussions of the case.

“This has required us to pull together as a team,” he said.

The Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District will hold elections from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. May 6 at station No. 3, 8445 U.S. 285, between Indian Hills and Conifer.
